Back in the spring, I had gotten an email and they asked if I had anything to submit for this issue, they need it right away... I had nothing...

...Nothing but 12 yards of MAUVE solid!

Why would I have 12 yards of that?

PINK had been ordered TWICE, in six yard pieces, and was the wrong pink color TWICE!

So when they asked for something quick, I thought, What do I have a lot of that I could whip together into a quilt quickly?

and there was that pink...

and a huge pile of HST's....

And I thought... Well, let's just see what we can do with those!

Very quickly, I put that quilt top together that night, and sent off the image the next day, and they said yes... Then as I was off on a trip, I sent it off to my friend Shelly Pagliai, who quilts a lot of my quilts, as I'm been traveling a lot lately... hard to long arm when your not home!

...and Bing, Bang, Boom, the quilt was done and sent off...

The point?

(and this works for me, but maybe will resonate with you?)

Working FAST.

Working with what you have.

Asking "What can I do to make this work?" (...and get rid of a good deal yardage of MAUVE)

Don't second guess...

These kind of parameters, I've come to realize is how I work best...

It really make me use (and listen) to my intuition. Not time to dilly dally, because I have more quilts to make... so for me, that keeps me connected to my process, and I can work quickly.

I will be giving three walk through lectures of the exhibit. This is free for you to come by, say hi, and hear about the quilts hanging... I can't wait to meet you!MARKET:Sunday the 25th: 1-2pm at the Double Wedding Ring exhibitFESTIVALSaturday the 31st: 1-2pm at the Double Wedding Ring exhibitSunday the 1st: 1-2pm at the Double Wedding Ring exhibit
